Corinthian Leather

Corinthian Leather (Hugh Stout, 2017) is a memorable Tall Bearded Iris that commands attention with its rich, color-forward design and refined details. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this exhibition-grade variety features mocha standards deeply infused with Indian red, complemented by copper style arms for a luxe, upscale effect. The falls are a dramatic mahogany-red edged in copper, punctuated by a crisp white chevron and gold haft marks—details that lend a painterly, graphic quality. The beards transition from golden orange in the throat to gold and finish with a flash of lemon yellow, creating a vibrant, eye-catching focal point. Moderate ruffling and a distinctive leathery texture give each bloom a sculptural, boutique-caliber presence, while a subtle spicy fragrance adds sensory allure. Bred from ‘Edgy And Bad’ X ‘Decked Out’ and honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2021, Corinthian Leather is a field-stopping, curator-worthy addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike.
